Hotel Coeurderoy

Built during the 16th century, it originally consisted of a single building along rue de Rougemont, with a sloping garden leading to rue Pasteur.
The hotel owes its name to the family of its last owners. Mme Coeurderoy wished to bequeath her building and all its possessions to the town of Tonnerre, on condition that it be used as a library and museum. She was the mother of political dissident Ernest Coeurderoy, who was forced into exile in 1850 for his socialist ideas. He committed suicide in the canton of Geneva at the age of 37 in 1862.
